Due to there being too few competitors for a tournament designed for sixteen, two of the women had a bye through to the quarter finals. The tournament gold medallist was Russia's Maria Kushtanova who added to the gold medal she won in the Light-Contact category at Belgrade earlier in the year, by defeating Norway's Eirin Dale in the final on points. Greece's Peny Galani and Ireland's Lorraine McDermott took bronze. [1]
